Sky Sailing: An Airplane Carried Me to Bed

Bleepy, twinkly soundscapes galore from Owl City man Adam Young. By Katie Toms
  
  


Internet phenomenon Owl City (effervescent 23-year-old Adam Young) cites the Finding Nemo soundtrack as one of his biggest influences. His resulting cutesy digi-pop is created on a laptop in his parents' basement in Minnesota and yielded last year's hit "Fireflies" - the most downloaded iTunes single in America. This follow-up to his major-label debut, released as side-project Sky Sailing, delivers more bleepy, twinkly soundscapes. "Brielle" is pretty, but essentially this is an album of excess material for the (admittedly legion) committed fans.
